Longarm insights please
I have been given a small Halloween quilt the is almost entirely covered in 'wondered under' pictures. Can I quilt through that like normal? Haven't ever done this and I'm not sure. ???
Thank you in advance for your help with this. |
There are different types of Wonder Under, hopefully the customer can tell you which kind was used. I think if it is the heavier craft one, quilting through it might prove troublesome.

If you can find out what wonder under she used, that would help a lot. Yep, some are not for quilting through them. Others will work just fine. Do they feel really stiff? Maybe you could also just try sticking a thin pin through and see how tough it is.

Schmetz makes a "non-stick" needle for sewing through the heavier or tacky-er fusibles.

I found I had to use a bigger needle it's sticky

Light or medium wt. is ok, but the heavy duty has enough adhesive so that sewing on is not necessary ( think patching of holes). The light will not be a problem with a # 18 needle. The regular ( med.) you may need to slow down so the needle completes the stitch fully before you move it along. If there is an overlap (2 or 3 thicknesses) such as occurs with flower petals and a flower center, try to avoid stitching in that area ( you may get skipped stitches) . I take it you will be doing some kind of outlining and a few inside details rather than a panto. When doing an edge to edge, you may not be able to avoid those overlaps.
